- This is a community-enhanced, "jumbo" version of John the Ripper.
13
- It has a lot of code, documentation, and data contributed by the
14
- user community. This is not "official" John the Ripper code. It is
15
- very easy for new code to be added to jumbo: the quality requirements
16
- are low. This means that you get a lot of functionality that is not
17
- "mature" enough or is otherwise inappropriate for the official JtR,
18
- which in turn also means that bugs in this code are to be expected.
